Mirror to the State: Spoken Word Event and Competition

An exclusive spoken word eventinspired by the truths from inside the wire that laid bare to the world the human voices that were caught up in the War on Terror. Fourteen years on, we invite you to listen to those same words and beyond in the hope that we do not just stand as witnesses but also work to empower and seek justice.

Join usfor an evening that will capture the journey from the black hole of Guantanamo to the counter-terrorism measures that serve as the backbone of what has lead to entire communities being held suspect. From racial profiling to institutionally embedded policies that target individually and collectively.

In a time where our words and thoughts are policed, we stand rooted firmly and dignified in our truth.

Hear our truths at first hand from survivors to witnesses and those still incarcerated as we raise our words and speak.
